Review summary

This was our first cruise. I think we're were both a little nervous and didn't know what to expect. Embarkation was so easy we were in Azura before we even realized and sat on deck drinking cocktails. I would sail on this fine lady again without a moments hesitation. Beautiful ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
A special mention to Joseph Miranda. He was our waiter and as my wife had a broken arm he always seemed to be available to help no matter where we were. I'm proud to now call him our friend.

We were on that cruise and couldn't agree more with your review. Azura and her sister ship ventura are our 2 favourite ships
